Abstract: In one embodiment, a system comprises at least one processor and a peripheral interface controller coupled to the processor. Further coupled to receive transactions from a peripheral interface, the peripheral interface controller is configured to accumulate freed credits for a given transaction type of a plurality of transaction types that are not yet returned to a transmitter on the peripheral interface. The peripheral interface controller is also configured to cause transmission of a flow control update transaction on the peripheral interface responsive to a number of the freed credits exceeding a threshold amount that is less than a total number of credits allocated to the given transaction type.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises serializer/deserializer (SERDES) circuits. Each SERDES circuit provides data received from a respective lane to which the SERDES circuit is coupled. A receive pipe is coupled to the SERDES circuits and comprises accumulate buffers, multiplexing levels, accumulate buffer counters, control registers, and control logic. Each accumulate buffer corresponds to a respective port configurable over the plurality of lanes. A first level of the multiplexing levels is coupled to receive data from neighboring lanes on one input and the data from the neighboring lanes connected in reverse order on the other input. Each multiplexor at each other level is coupled to receive outputs of neighboring multiplexors from a next lower level on one input and the outputs connected in reverse order on the other input. Each configuration register corresponds to a respective port, indicating an initial lane assigned to the respective port and a size of the port. The control logic is configured to generate select signals responsive to respective bits of the buffer counters and respective bits of initial lane numbers.

Abstract: A processor having a floating point execution unit with improved parallelism in the adder (add/subtract) unit is disclosed. A preferred aspect of the invention is a new use of the compare logic in the floating point execution unit, coupled with an end-around-carry bit value calculator, to allow the correct rounding choice of the operands to be made before the mantissa portions of the operands are subtracted (added) rather than after.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method for determining if a first number is greater than or equal to a second number. By analyzing nibbles of a multi-bit number in parallel to determine for each nibble if the nibbles are unequal and if a first nibble is greater than a second nibble and thereafter logically determining which of the highest order nibbles, if any, are unequal to discover whether the first number is greater than the second number, or determining that all nibble pairs are equal and thus concluding that both numbers are equal. A digital logic circuit is preferably employed for such analysis.

Abstract: A double-precision multiplier for use in the floating point pipeline of a processor has an array multiplier and a carry-save partial-product accumulator. Double precision multiplication is accomplished by generating a plurality of partial products and summing these in the carry-save partial-product accumulator. The partial-product accumulator has a carry-save adder, a sum register, a carry-out counter and an extender. The carry-out counter receives a carry outputs of the carry-save adder and array multiplier, and the extender is coupled to extend the sum register dependent upon the contents of the carry-out counter. The extension occurs during addition of the most significant partial product to the sum of less significant partial products.
